Full Service History & Log Books/Spare Keys

Comments:

This vehicle was purchased new in Canberra and has spent it's life here, being driven to and from Sydney on a regular basis.

It has a current RWC and three months registration left.

A/C works perfectly and blasts cold air.

I'm in no rush to sell, so if it sells it sells, but if it doesn't - then I keep it. :)

There is a bad point to this car mind you - the passenger side skirt has been hit by a rock some time during it's life and requires re painting. I have received a quote of $160.00 to complete this work - from Naz at Kustom Motor Finishes.

I've also just purchased many servicing consumables for the car including;

Bosch Platinum Spark Plugs

Genuine Fuel Filter

Oil Filter

Oil - Duh

Oil Filler Cap (Original was cracking)

Rocker Cover Gasket - Am planning to paint the rocker cover red or black.

Thanks Zebra.

If it does sell, it will be very sad to see it go. I think it's a wonderful car, and it really shines on long drivers with the cruise control.

0 - 5 km/h - 2.9 Sec

0 - 100 - 9.5 Sec (lol - sorry kids).

125 Kw

222 Nm Torque

I've always filled this vehicle with 98/95 octance fuel.

Rear Sunshade (lol)

ABS (Antilock Brakes)

Air Conditioning

Seperate A/C for each side of the car

Central Locking

Cruise Control

Leather Trim (Incl. Seats, inserts)

Power Steering

Power Windows - Front & Rear

Thanks mate, the guy takes delivery of it next week.

Now I'm looking at a TA23 Celica (1976) to plod around in. Here's a teaser of what is to come:

    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
